hi all,im new here as you can probs tell,i have a 96 gti colour concept and i need to lower the front by about 60mm,ive been told that mk2 shocks and springs will fit but im not convinced for some reason???any help apreciated.

[boneybradley]

they will fit but you need mk2/early mk3 spring cups. the biggest issue you may have is the mk3 lardy weight compared to the mk2 so spring rates will be off (basically mk2 -60mm front springs may lower it even more?)

Why are you only lowering the front, will handle crap

Mk2 will fit but unless you fitting a matched set up you will and can cause issues
